Best Answer

Anyone can become homeless, generally after a life crisis, such as the loss of a job, an addiction, or a medical illness. If you are asking who is considered homeless, each country has their own definition written by Congress and administered by social service agencies. In the United States, the Department of Housing and Urban Development counts the homeless as those living in emergency shelters, transitional housing, or in places not considered suitable for habitation (e.g., bus stops or sidewalks). The definition written for the Department of Education, however, adds those "doubled-up" or living with family or friends due to lack of their own housing.

They most affect their family and their loved ones. They also hurt themselves by what they did to be in that situation.
